API Pipes

API Pipes

Information

API pipe is a carbon steel pipe that is manufactured as per the specification of the American Petroleum Institute (API). Steel API pipes are produced in a welded and seamless form, which are typically used in pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries. API pipes are suitable for the transportation of gas, oil and water.

Applications

Uses of API pipe include energy industries, power plants, engineering, automotive, industrial, petroleum, petrochemical, natural gas industries and waterworks.

Grades

The most common grade of API pipes is API 5L. The API 5L specification provides standards for pipe suitable for use in conveying gas, water, and oil in the natural gas and oil industries. Grade API 5L also covers both seamless and welded steel line pipes. It includes plain-end, threaded-end, belled-end pipe, through-the-flowline (TFL) pipe, and pipe with ends prepared for use with special couplings. Apart from being inexpensive, coated API pipes are commonly used in pipelines as they are resistant to crack propagation.

Common Grades, Sizes and Specifi­cations

Grades Nominal Size Outer Diameter Wall Thickness
API 5L Up to 36in Up to 36in From 1.7mm

Other API pipe sizes and grades are available upon request. You can request to cut your API pipes down to size.
